Last week, a user had an unusual request. Using the x of y page-numbering scheme in a sectioned document wasn't working for her. She was able to restart the page number for the x component, but the y component continued to display the total number of pages in the document, not the section.

I'll admit, this request required just a bit of sleuthing on my part-I didn't have the answer! My first thought was to use a formula field based on the {PAGES} field, but that just seemed too hard. Surely this was a common problem with a built-in solution!

Tusharnene was the first to recommend the solution I hit on after reviewing the list of fields. There it was-{SECTIONPAGES}. Simply replace the default y component, which is the {PAGES} field with a {SECTIONPAGES} field. Ta-da!
